Ji Yuanchi hovered around Xu Yuehuai, praising how amazing Xu Yuehuai was, which made Pu Erge, who was watching from the side, extremely envious. He thought so in his heart, but he still had to pretend that nothing was wrong.
Xu Yuehuai patted Ji Yuanchi's head and noticed that her wounds hadn't been treated yet. Her face darkened immediately. "We've been up here for so long, why haven't you treated your wounds yet?"
As Xu Yuehuai spoke, she took out a bottle of pills from her own space and fed it to Ji Yuanchi.
Ji Yuanchi smiled and said, "I was so engrossed in watching you guys play that I forgot. But it doesn't hurt at all, it's just a minor scratch, and it will heal on its own in no time."
Seeing Xu Yuehuai's actions, Brother Pu silently put the pills he had taken out back and sat in his seat as if nothing had happened.
In the final competition, on the stage were the white-haired youth Baili Xiuwen and Senior Brother Quan Cang.
Xu Yuehuai paid close attention to this battle, as each fight helped her understand the true strength of her opponent. To defeat an enemy, one must first understand them.
She had never seen Baili Xiuwen make a move; it was always Fu Ziyi, who was always by his side, who made the moves.
A great battle was about to break out, and Quan Cang stood there without any of the academy's disciples coming forward to fight him.
Quan Cang is also one of the people on the list.
But Baili Xiuwen wasn't so lucky. Because he was too flamboyant, his white hair made him the center of attention in the crowd, making it hard for people not to notice him.
A disciple brandished his weapon and slashed at Baili Xiuwen's position, but just as his weapon was about to touch Baili Xiuwen, he vanished right before everyone's eyes. While the disciple who attacked him was looking on in confusion, Baili Xiuwen appeared behind him and kicked him off the stage.
Most of those who attacked Baili Xiuwen were disciples of the Guo family and the Pu family. Only a few people who had long disliked Baili Xiuwen's behavior in the academy wanted to provoke him. The rest were all quite well-behaved.
When Elder Zhi saw Baili Xiuwen's moves, he excitedly stood up, pointed at Baili Xiuwen, and said, "Our Zhentian Clan wants this disciple!"
Elder Zhi's voice was loud enough to reach everyone's ears. Everyone looked at Baili Xiuwen and had to admit that he was very strong.
They had always thought that the promise to perform well at the start of the competition and be recruited into the sect early was a lie, but now it seems that it is actually true.
The other elders couldn't sit still any longer. The first to speak was naturally the talkative Elder Zhan, "Elder Zhi, when has your Zhentian Clan ever lacked talent? Do you need geniuses from the lower realms like this? To be honest, I've also taken a liking to this white-haired youth!"
The others remained silent, but their eyes were filled with shock as they all stared at Baili Xiuwen.
Xu Yuehuai was very surprised that Baili Xiuwen could actually cultivate spatial techniques!
When Dean Zhong saw so many people vying for his apprentice, he couldn't hide his smile, revealing his big teeth, jokingly saying he was letting his teeth breathe.
"Elder Zhan, mind your own business. What could possibly be worth sending him to that wretched place like your Wanzhang Sect?" Elder Zhi was very confident when it came to providing his disciples with cultivation resources.
While they were discussing, Elder Zisang secretly shone a beam of light at Baili Xiuwen without anyone noticing.
When the light touched Baili Xiuwen, his body instantly emitted a dazzling light, a unique blue color belonging to Qingtao Valley.
This means that Baili Xiuwen has been admitted to Qingtao Valley ahead of schedule.
"You flatter me!" Elder Zisang smiled and bowed to the other elders.
Elder Zhi and Elder Zhan both turned to look at Elder Zisang. "You! You actually did this behind our backs! It's utterly shameless and despicable!"
...
The two took turns cursing at Elder Zisang, but Elder Zisang showed no sign of being insulted. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy it. He touched his nose and revealed the truth, saying, "Did you not want to admit that boy earlier? It was clearly because you felt that his abilities needed to be carefully examined after the competition and were subject to discussion. But that's not the case with him!"
Elder Zisang acted as if he was fearless, offending both the representative elders of the Zhentian Clan and the Wanzhang Sect.
Elder Zhi and Elder Zhan, having been misled, turned pale and then flushed.
Each sect can only have three slots like this, which are pre-selected and forcibly locked, and this has been the case for every competition, but very few people use this method.
Because once the disciple is used, they will be directly added to the sect, and even if it is later discovered that the disciple is just an empty shell, it is impossible to back out.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, the two elders reluctantly returned to their seats.
Elder Zisang's face was all smiles during the rest of the matches.
When the crowd on the stage saw the light flashing around Baili Xiuwen, they were all surprised and stopped fighting to look at him.
The elders below, who were closest to the arena, were quite noisy, and everyone heard about Baili Xiuwen being admitted early.
Those who had just wanted to attack Baili Xiuwen could only turn around and attack others instead.
After standing there for a while, Baili Xiuwen realized that no one was coming to hit him, and he was incredibly bored. However, he didn't actively seek out a fight. When there were no more than twenty people left on the stage, Baili Xiuwen jumped off the stage.
Seeing this, Elder Zhan smiled, a rare occurrence on his face, and said, "I think Baili Xiuwen is probably just all show and no substance. Otherwise, why doesn't he compete for first place? With his strength, getting first place would be a piece of cake."
Although Elder Zisang was also puzzled, he unconditionally spoke up for his disciple, saying, "It's none of your business. What if they're holding back their strength to go all out in the later matches? Elder Zhan is really being petty."
Elder Zhan was scolded, and his face turned ashen. He felt he had lost face.
The results of the fifth match were also announced. Quan Cang ranked first, and Ji Shi was also in this match. Unfortunately, she was ambushed at the beginning and accidentally fell off the stage. Otherwise, with Ji Shi's strength, she would definitely have won the top five.
After the second round of competition, one hundred people remained.
They looked at each other in bewilderment. The competition was a cruel thing; their companions changed batch after batch.
